The game looks better than ever but plays the same, so newcomers to the series should not skip one of the best JRPGs of all time, I would be "brokenhearted." On a serious note, Ni no Kuni remains the same charming game that I've played several years ago and I'm glad that Bandai Namco has decided to bring it to a larger audience.

If I had to describe Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered in one word, it would be "magical". The game truly takes the player to a new world of exploration and discovery as you experience it through the eyes of a boy determined to fight for the ones he loves.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a traditional JRPG that's enjoyable for the newcomers of the genre and veteran players both. The fairytale atmosphere, helped by artists of Studio Ghibli, is simply magical and the remastered version didn't spoil any of that.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered is literally a magical game. This game can easily soothe your soul and tell you a sweet and dreamy story in this crowded, conflicted world easier than you might think. That being said, it may be a little difficult to come to terms with the gameplay after experiencing the second version of Ni Nu Kuni, especially the first version of the combat system, but sooner than you think you will cope with all of this and understand the essence of the game. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered game experience is a must for all Japanese role-playing lovers, even if you've experienced the original version in years.

Although the port does not bring graphic improvements as in the PS4 and PC versions, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch has an impressive art direction and rich in details. The RPG gives the feeling of playing a Studio Ghibli movie, with very unique and charismatic characters, a striking soundtrack and an epic story. Ni no Kuni is a must-have game for RPG and animation lovers from one of the largest and most acclaimed Japanese animation studios.

The original Ni No Kuni was one of my favourite JRPG titles of all time. So I was so glad to see it available again on modern systems looking better than ever. If you enjoy engaging, character driven JRPG’s or the worlds created by Studio Ghibli you’re going to love this.

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered on the Switch is a great port of a very good JRPG. Its stellar presentation and unique mix of known JRPG systems make it an engrossing experience that every fan of the genre should experience at least once. It isn't perfect, with some frustrations around its combat system and AI, but that doesn't detract from everything else it does as well or better than many other JRPGs in recent memory. If you have a Switch and are intrigued by Ni No Kuni, you cannot go wrong with this game.

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a solid, no-frills, no-additions port of the original PS3 game of the same title. The first video game by Studio Ghibli has not only aged very well, but it also runs smoothly and quickly on the Switch, making it an ideal way to experience the whimsy, charm, and wonder of this fantastical world with Oliver, his friends, and his fearsome foes.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is just as charming and endearing now as it was when it first came out almost a decade ago. While it does look and play better on PC it would have been nice to see more improvements and a few quality of life additions to bring the game up to modern standards.

While the game does feature slightly improved visuals in terms of world map details and performance and better resolution support, everything else stayed pretty much the same. Audio received no touch-ups at all. A decent remaster of an amazing game.
